From 48 Laws of Power by Robert Green
26.Keep Your Hands Clean
You must seem a paragon of civility and efficiency: Your hands are never soiled by mistakes and nasty deeds.

Maintain such a spotless appearance by using others as scapegoats and cat's-paws to disguise your involvement.

(always have a few suckers and around to take the blame for you, while you remain in power)
27.Play on People's Need to Believe to Create a Cult like Following
People have an overwhelming desire to believe in something.

Become the focal point of such desire by offering them a cause, a new faith to follow.

Keep your words vague but full of promise; emphasize enthusiasm over rationality and clear thinking.

Give your new disciples rituals to perform, ask them to make sacrifices on your behalf.

In the absence of organized religion and grand causes, your new belief system will bring you untold power.

28.Enter Action with Boldness
If you are unsure of a course of action, do not attempt it. Your doubts and hesitations will infect your execution.

Timidity is dangerous: Better to enter with boldness.

Any mistakes you commit through audacity are easily corrected with more audacity.

Everyone admires the bold; no one honors the timid.

29.Plan All the Way to the End
The ending is everything.

Plan all the way to it, taking into account all the possible consequences, obstacles, and twists of fortune that might reverse your hard work and give the glory to others.

By planning to the end you will not be overwhelmed by circumstances and you will know when to stop. Gently guide fortune and help determine the future by thinking far ahead
30.Make your Accomplishments Seem Effortless
Your actions must seem natural and executed with ease. (Like a corps de Ballet) All the toil and practice that go into them, and also all the clever tricks, must be concealed.

When you act, act effortlessly, as if you could do much more. Avoid the temptation of revealing how hard you work - it only raises questions.

Teach no one your tricks or they will be USED AGAINST you.
